Bidding in Japan Car Auctions

The days when cars were auctioned by a man with a gavel are long since gone here. Japanese car auctions are held over the Internet or satellite link with buyers at the auction house (kaijo) competing with remote buyers through the same online computer system.

Japan car auctions often divide different groups of vehicles into different corners – so you might have a foreign cars corner, an accident vehicle history corner etc. These corners are each assigned a batch of auctions numbers. So, the foreign cars corner might be from 07001 to 07699, which will be auctioned from, for example, 14:00 to 15:00 in the afternoon.

Each corner may well also be assigned a particular lane. This is like a mini-auction within the main auction. So you can often have a number of lanes running simultaneously. When you are dealing with a lot of different bids from different customers at auctions and lanes that are coming up very close to each other, or even simultaneously, it can be very difficult to keep track of each vehicle and make sure none slip through when we are bidding on others.
